U.K. Deputy Prime Minister Dominic Raab Resigns After Bullying InvestigationChris J. Ratcliffe—Bloomberg/Getty ImagesONDON— U.K. Deputy Prime Minister Dominic Raab resigned Friday after an independent investigation found he bullied civil servants, though he criticized the report as “flawed.
The investigation made two findings of bullying against him and dismissed the others, Raab said in his resignation letter. He called the findings “flawed” and said the inquiry “set a dangerous precedent” by “setting the threshold for bullying so low.”The resignation spares Sunak the difficult task of deciding the fate of his top deputy.
Sunak received the investigation report Thursday morning and didn’t immediately make a decision. Spokesperson Max Blain, speaking before Raab’s resignation, said Sunak still had “full confidence” in Raab while he reviewed the report. Raab was elected to Parliament in 2010 and unsuccessfully sought to become Conservative Party leader in 2019 before throwing his support behind Boris Johnson. Appointed deputy prime minister under Johnson, he briefly took charge of the government when Johnson was hospitalized with COVID-19 in April 2020.Raab said in his letter that he had “not intentionally belittled anyone” and “genuinely sorry for any unintended stress or offense that any officials felt.
